Making Backup copies of software
This is probably a real easy question-I just want to know how to make duplicate copies of my Amiga programs for backup purposes. It's been quite some time since I've done it and I've plumb forgoteen how! Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: Making Backup copies of software
Easy way, if you have two disk drives.
Put original disk in DF0: make sure its write protected Put blank disk in DF1: drag the DF0: icon on top of DF1: icon. or, open DF0: and drag whatever files you have there into the DF1: disk. With only one disk drive Click once on df0: go to menu and choose copy, it'll copy the info to ram: and then ask you to put a blank disk in df0: edit: oh, and heres a few copy programs aminet search

Re: Making Backup copies of software
The best way would be to use a disk copy program like xcopy or similar. There is also a disc copy program included in amigaos, but this one will only handle amigaos friendly software/games.

Re: Making Backup copies of software
I've got another question: After I finish copying a disk, I try to go into it to make sure everything is there but I am unable to access the disk and at the top of the Workbench screen it says the icons have no default tool. What does this mean? Am I missing a step somewhere?

Re: Making Backup copies of software
How weird. Is it a properly formated floppy? You can format it from the WB. Click once on the floppy, and in the Icon menu is the format command, and do a full format. Then it should work fine in your Ami.

Re: Making Backup copies of software
Tried a different disk and everything went ok this time. I guess the first disk I tried to use must have been no good.
